#Pokes made up 134 points to #Bama in coaches' poll. Tide lead down to 32 points from 166 a week ago. This is gonna be close, folks #BCS
RT @DannySheridan1: just had another person very close to the situation, tell me it's definitely Ala vs LSU in NC game. Rocky Balboa vs Apolo Creed 2
Rumors are swirling that Bama is actually going to win the computer poll. You know. The poll that involves numerous computer rankings that are confidential in terms of how they rank teams.Here is the link to the 6 computer polls the BCS uses:
JHokanson Justin Hokanson
Reports coming out now that Virginia Tech may be headed to the Sugar, meaning Virginia may be headed to Chick-Fil-A.
:facepalm:We don't want to play the Cavaliers. Ain't they arrogant like Bamers?
Auburn vs. Virginia - Chick Fil ALets just rename this the Who Gives a Shit Bowl. :facepalm:
An hour before the official BCS announcements on ESPN, all of the BCS games are set.
On January 3rd the Sugar Bowl will feature Virginia Tech -- WTF -- against Michigan.
The Orange Bowl will have Clemson against West Virginia on January 4th. (As a bonus the official Orange Bowl site isn't even keeping this a secret. They're already selling merchadise).
The Rose Bowl on January 2nd will match-up Wisconsin and Oregon.
The Fiesta Bowl, alson on January 2nd, will be Stanford against Oklahoma State.
Somewhere, there is a McDonalds employee that is about to be decapitated by Kaos.Yeah Bama to NCG = hot-house toms on a "all beef patty."
And Clint Moseley brings AU in at #25!
George Petrie is the first Alabamian to earn a Ph.D. degree. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Virginia in 1887 and a Ph.D. in "history, political economy, and jurisprudence" from Johns Hopkins University in 1890. At Auburn, known until 1892 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, and from 1892 to 1960 as Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Petrie is considered the founder of both the History Department and the Graduate School, as well as the school's athletic program.
His time at the University of Virginia inspired Petrie to choose burnt orange and navy blue as the official colors for Auburn's athletic teams. Upon organizing the first Auburn football team in 1892, Petrie arranged for the team to play the University of Georgia team at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Auburn won the game, 10–0, in front of 2,000 spectators. The game inaugurated what is known to college football fans as the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.
How the coaches voted:

Saban's punk ass voted OK State 4tb. What a fucking douchebag. Chickenshit move.
So did David Cutcliffe...WTF?

Cutcliffe attended Banks High School in Birmingham where he played football. He attended the University of Alabama where he worked as a student assistant on Bear Bryant's Alabama staff.
Boise had one loss and their best win was beating the SEC East champions and goes to the Maaco bowl.The biggest problem with your reasoning is you want pump up other teams wins, while forgiving who they lost to, while holding Alabama's loss against them and multiplying it. That has been the biggest flaw in your logic (and others) since we started talking about it.
Bama had one loss and their best win was beating the #3 SEC West team and goes to the National Championship.
Figure that out.
Boise lost to a then unranked TCU. TCU also lost to Baylor and Southern Methodist. Southern. Methodist. That shit is going to leave a mark, and it's not that impressive. To further compound the issue, TCU is now only ranked 18th.There's that circular logic again. "We know TCU's not any good because they're only ranked 18th!"
There's that circular logic again. "We know TCU's not any good because they're only ranked 18th!"Well then how do we know ISU isn't better than LSU? How do we know that UAB isn't better than OSU? How do you know that Penn State isn't good enough to play for the championship? You had no problem knocking Arkansas to show that Alabama only had one decent win that wasn't really quality, but you're going to be an advocate for #18 TCU? You don't even make sense from one post to the next, because you're trying so desperately to beat a round peg into a square hole.
You don't really believe that a team should be measured more by comparing their single losses than comparing their multiple quality wins. It suits your belief that Alabama deserves to live out its birthright.

When you have multiple "quality wins" but then shit the bed and blow a 17 point lead against ISU, then what does it all mean? How much does the SOS matter when you blow it against a really shitty team? Does it mean you only consider the wins and ignore the loss to ISU? I mean fuck, if that's the logic you are going to apply to all teams, then Alabama losing to LSU is most certainly excuseable, right?
The problem is you are picking and choosing what standards you want to apply to which teams, those standards that you don't want to apply, and then those standards that don't exist that you want to insert into the system so you can put a round peg in a square hole. I haven't said shit about anything being Alabama's "birthright". Like I said before, if the system said OSU was going to play for it all, then so be it. If this same exact scenario played out and put AU into the NCG, then you would be just fine with it. Nothing to see here. The system is working! Whatever benefits YOUR team is A-OK.
Bottom line is you're simply butthurt that it benefited your rival and puts them in a position to win the NC this year.
Well then how do we know ISU isn't better than LSU? How do we know that UAB isn't better than OSU?
You're a dumb ass...Chizad is the one that opened the door for it.
And make stupid fucking arguments...
Because they haven't played, dumbass.Exactly.
Exactly.
So, by that reasoning, why can't ISU play LSU for the NC?
Bama only lost to the #1 team in the country. Losing to the #1 team in the country is better than losing to an unranked team. Which is the same logic some people cannot seem to comprehend when talking about Bama and OSU.Actually you fail again...and fail at what Chizad is pointing out to you.
Actually you fail again...and fail at what Chizad is pointing out to you.
You keep bringing up the one loss...OSU and bammer both have one loss. What he is trying to point out was that their totally body of work was better than bammers so given the fact that each team has one loss what should count more? Who they lost to? or their overall body of work?
Well then how do we know ISU isn't better than LSU? How do we know that UAB isn't better than OSU?

Actually you fail again...and fail at what Chizad is pointing out to you.I see the point. The counterpoint is, why shouldn't you be penalized for losing to a shitty team?

For that matter, OSU was at one point #2; ahead of Bama. They were getting credit for winning with a better SOS. But when you go and lose to a shit team, it's going to cost you. Rightfully so.
